Dear colleagues, at this moment we have some money to expend in books.
Could you please recommend us books about light/fluorescence microscopy in
general or specifically about confocal microscopy. We would prefer books with
practical aspects and methods.
We have a leica confocal LCS SL and two light an fluorescence microscopies
and we are doing research in the are of biomedicine in a public institution.

thanks a lot in advance

Hello,

We have a short list of them in our Web page:

?IdServicio=19&IdObjeto=155

There are obviously a lot more but this list may help you intially. You may
also take a look to "Amazon.com". It is useful sometimes.

Search the CONFOCAL archive at http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Two books that come to mind for me are James Pawley's Handbook of Biological Confocal Microscopy and Alan Hibbs' book Confocal Microscopy for Biologists:

http://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Biological-Confocal-Microscopy-Pawley/dp/038725921X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210169761&sr=1-2

http://www.amazon.com/Confocal-Microscopy-Biologists-Alan-Hibbs/dp/0306484684/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210169821&sr=1-1

These books complement each other very well. Guy Cox has a recent book as well that I liked:

http://www.amazon.com/Optical-Imaging-Techniques-Cell-Biology/dp/0849339197/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210169866&sr=1-2

And there's one book that's a bit older now but I used this a lot when I first started doing microscopy: Fundamentals of Light Microscopy and Electronic Imaging by Douglas B. Murphy.

http://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Light-Microscopy-Electronic-Imaging/dp/047125391X/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210169963&sr=1-1

All of these books have some sections on practical aspects of running the instrument (especially Hibbs' book). And here's one more that's all about that:

http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Methods-Microscopy-Protocols-Laboratory/dp/0879697512/ref=pd_bbs_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210170102&sr=1-3

I have a copy of Lakowicz's "Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy"
and find it incredibly timely and useful.  Also of note:

Pawley's "Handbook of Biological Confocal Microscopy"
Periasamy's "Methods in Cellular Imaging"
Periasamy and Day, "Molecular Imaging, FRET Microscopy and Spectroscopy"
